Su Changxing stood on the rooftop, waiting for a while, but there was no sign of the woman. He immediately ran downstairs to leave his current position.
The opponent had likely already discovered his current location and was quickly approaching.
Following this logic, he needed to leave his current position and immediately move to another point to snipe at the current location.
Both sides had excellent hiding abilities, and neither could sense each otherâs positions, leading to an invisible confrontation.
Su Changxing sprinted to another tall building a kilometer away. As soon as he reached the rooftop, he saw black-purple meteoric stones forming a mass of black dots shooting towards him.
Su Changxing calmly observed his surroundings, his whole body glowing with a faint white light. In the next moment, he transformed into scattered white feathers and disappeared from the spot.
"Boom~"
He flickered to the edge of the roof, drew out his revolver, and pulled the trigger.
The bullet was fired.
The womanâs body was shattered again, dissipating into a pile of black soil on the ground.
Still a decoy!
And as expected by Su Changxing, he still hadnât discovered the womanâs real position.
Immediately after.
The edge of the roof softened, and his feet were trapped, imprisoned by the meteoric stones as small stones transformed into black light shooting at him again.
Su Changxingâs eyes gleamed with a ghostly green, and in the next moment, dozens of Evil Spirits crowded in front of him, dissipating under the meteoric stonesâ penetration, but still blocking the attack.
"Hmm?"
He showed a trace of surprise, looking down. With a loud crash, the wall was shattered. Amidst the dust, Fallen Evil Tao Yi staggered out from the corridor dragging a female corpse, leaving a long trail of blood.
That was the corpse of the "Black Gold Mage". She had unexpectedly been taken down by Tao Yi.
Su Changxing was surprised, then fell into silence: "Isnât this a bit too fake... well, whatever."
His legs broke free from the edgeâs constraint, and he jumped down, glanced again at the rosy-faced female corpse, marveling at how exquisitely she died.
······
There was a brief silence below.
Su Changxingâs combat footage was zoomed in, showcasing the details of the fight clearly, but some scenes werenât visible due to no tracking on Su Changxing.
"The Sniper defeated the Black Gold!"
A young man with a bottle in hand shouted.
Such a succinct battle could bring greater shock, proving Su Changxingâs undeniably powerful strength.
He directly moved up to ninth place, breaking into the top ten.
"Sniper!"
"Sniper!"
······
Thundering cheers sounded again.
It was like a festive celebration.
Some gamblers blushed with excitement, unable to contain themselves. As long as Su Changxing survived till the end, it meant they would gain huge wealth, endless fortune.
······
"Seems like my odds of winning are pretty high now."
The man carrying the Giant Sword smiled slightly and said softly.
Although he told Su Changxing to aim for the crown, actually getting into the top ten was enough.
The person sitting beside him frowned slightly, saying:
"The outcome is still unknown. This Black Gold Mage seems to be somewhat overrated; losing so easily is improbable."
"Youâre still so caught up in winning and losing."
"Say what you will!"
······
Su Changxing paid no mind to the "Black Gold Mageâs" corpse and decisively left the tall building with his Scythe.
Sometime later, the bloody female corpse on the ground moved slightly, before becoming still again, with a faint smile creeping up her lips.
After the "Black Gold Mage" died, the Gladiators fell silent, not because they knew of the dangers here but because the competition suddenly entered its second phase, seemingly a result of Su Changxing slaying too many Gladiators.
Chaos ensued.
The Gladiators not only had to hunt Ordinary People but also fight each other, perhaps more often than not.
These Ordinary People posed no threat, but the other Gladiators were significant threats, with the Points gained from killing a Gladiator being hundreds or thousands of times that of an Ordinary Person.
Watching these Gladiators fight each other, Su Changxing couldnât help but mourn the madness of death matches, fully amplifying the darkest sides of human nature.
But what meaning does this sickening game have?
Purely for the entertainment of the upper class?
"Thereâs that possibility, but itâs unlikely. Itâs probably for some greater interest."
Su Changxing analyzed to himself.
Things lightened up afterward. Chen Ling led the team around to the east of the city, accepting more survivors along the way, and the team quickly grew in size.
A man dressed as a police officer holding an M4 approached Chen Ling and said, "Captain Chen, someone wants to see you. He says heâs an Extraordinary?"
"Extraordinary?"
Chen Ling looked over at a group of over a dozen people not far away, nodding: "Hmm, let them come over."
A man wearing sunglasses with a wrinkled face walked briskly to Chen Ling, surrounded by invisible auras, clearly an Extraordinary.
He looked at Chen Ling, courteously saying, "Iâm Guo Fengyan, we all survived the Doomsday World; I guess Captain Chen did too."
"Indeed."
Chen Ling smiled slightly, saying:
"If you want to join, youâre welcome... Weâre heading towards East Forest, where the environment is much more stable."
Guo Fengyan humbly said, "Contributing even a little is only natural."
Then he looked around and asked: "Where is the master?"
For so many people to be openly active in the streets for so long without major issues showed clearly that there was a powerful protector behind them, which is why they came to join.
If they escaped alone, it might actually be safer.
Chen Ling immediately grasped Guo Fengyanâs intention, putting away his smile he said:
"Thatâs classified, I canât reveal it, just follow our group for now. If needed, you can collect firearms over there."
Guo Fengyan smiled awkwardly, also confirming that the person indeed was part of their group... Captain Chen should be part of the Security Bureau, right?
Everyone understands the benefit of being under a big tree...
Heâs even considering joining the Security Bureau. They just returned to reality, they had to wait and see, but now the situation is different.
Chen Ling wasnât overly enthusiastic about Guo Fengyan joining; the matters concerning Xu Chuâs Sweat made him very wary of these people, first considering if theyâd bring any harm rather than benefits.
To their surprise, they smoothly reached the center of the east city, and even if there were Gladiator attacks on the team, theyâd often be preemptively taken out by Su Changxing.
"Bang~"
Seeing a bullet of unknown origin take out a distant madman again, many in the crowd showed excited expressions; perhaps even escaping this place wouldnât bring such excitement.
"We actually have this kind of powerhouse, this is truly a God-like existence."
A thin man wearing glasses, dressed in a white shirt, with a pockmarked face, remarked to someone beside him.
The person next to him whispered: "I heard from people in the team, it seems everyone has the potential to become an Extraordinary, just really difficult."
They all looked like university students, and conveniently enough, there was a Media University nearby.
Guo Fengyan turned to look at them, smiling, saying: "You shouldnât entertain such unrealistic thoughts, surviving is the most important thing."
